    How Switching to Unlimited Data Saved Me $30 a Month

    The Verizon Go Unlimited plan sucks, plain and simple. You can get "de-prioritized" at any time Verizon determines the network you are connecting to is busy. 1/2 the time I try to use my phone around town, I can't connect, open the App store, etc. All this is really does is force you to...

    Looking to purchase an Acer Netbook - but which model?

    I have been watching this model (Acer One AO756-2617 )on Amazon for a bit. It usually is around $289. However after looking at Acer's page, they seem to have about 20 or so models available. http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/models/netbooks there is probably only a $100 difference between...
